I'm In A Real Mess Here!
« on: October 24, 2013, 08:35:22 PM »
In trying to find a solution to all the other problems .. I've added another! 8(

My friend, who is trying to help me with my pc (I have a vision problem), accidentally unplugged a cable from the motherboard that goes to the hard drive.

Neither one of us is very knowledgeable with pc innards.

(In the one picture, where that red cable is plugged in .. that cable runs to the disk player.)

My question is .. does it matter which slot the hard-drive cable plugs into of the three (connection slots) that remain?

The slots are at the bottom right where one of them is colored blue.

The board is a foxxcon G33M05G1

(One of these 3 remainging slots is where I'm sure the hard-drive connects to?)






This picture is of a board similar to mine ...

Thank You Chris.
To let everyone know ..

Please forgive me if I can't respond right away.

I can't see the writing on my friends monitor and my friend isn't around to help all the time!

My monitor is a 60" and I can barely make out anything on it .. When my pc is working!

I'm curious why the blue connector, but I didn't see anything when I looked up your system board.  It said they're all 3 Gb/s.

My SATA connections are labeled 0, 1, 2, 3, and the C drive came connected to the one labeled "0". I'm guessing the blue one is supposed to be the C drive connector.

My BIOS settings tell what is connected to each position.

Have you resolved this yet?

Although it technically doesn't matter which one the cable is plugged into it does matter because your BIOS, if setup correctly, will be set to boot to the one with your operating system on it.  So if that configuration is changed it will need to be changed in the BIOS.  Your best bet without having to go through the BIOS is to just try each one until it boots to your OS.
